Thank you. In today's GMA Heat Index, the new high-tech tool that could help you in an emergency. The personal safety game changer is called.Smart911 and ABC's Abbie Boudreau has all the details.

A mother's frantic search.

"My daughter is missing."

A woman stranded in her car with poor cell reception.

"Want a good location on you. I can't hear you at all."

And a man trapped inside his burning home.

"I can hear you coughing. Is this Dan?"

All of these are actual 9-1-1 recordings, all of them with happy endings thanks in part to Smart911. An enhanced 9-1-1 system where you can prepare for an emergency before it happens. Here's how it works.

You create a safety profile online, which can include your name, home address, photos of family members, even your medical history. Your **** is then stored in secured national databases, and if you call 9-1-1 from an area that uses this Smart911 system, your profile will instantly pop up on a dispatcher's screen.

"They can take that information, they can pass it on to the First Responders and have them on route much faster."

And remember this 9-1-1 caller, choking on the smoke from inside his burning home?

"Dan? Your Smart911 that you signed up for has your address and we have help coming for you."
